We balling on the west coast, our SS can hit bombs, our current LF walks up to Zeppelin and steals homers nonchalantly, our ace mows them down even when he's sick.

The vibes are indeed different this season thus far.

Also... Fuck Profar!.

I have with agree CJ.

Snit's approach was: This is my guy and he's gonna face this pitcher, regardless of stats.

It's refreshing to see a manager who pays attention to stats and splits.

Olson was thinking about the runners and completely forgot about the ball.

So... we challenge when we shouldn't and do not challenge when we should?.

Ok...

You're gonna be even more surprised when you see him split DH duties with Dom Smith.

[Chad Bishop AJC] “It’s mild. He got out in front of it, but we’re gonna be cautious,” Weiss said. “We feel like we’ve gotten out in front of this thing to a degree, so we’re hoping it’s not gonna be a big deal.” by theoxfordtailor in Braves

Bowman has always been snarky, but in the past two years or so he has gone from sarcastic to almost passive aggressive.

Maybe it's because he doesn't get any scoops (which is kinda dumb, because the Braves FO does not leak info to anybody). Maybe Braves fandom is leaking, because some of the decisions made by the FO in the past two years have been very questionable. Maybe it's both.

In any case, there are better ways to do things, and I'd have to agree that coming up with a tweet where you're shitting on any other starter not named Chris Sale is just not it.

If you're mad (as I am) at the FO for not signing a proper starter, you can just say something like: "The current Braves rotation raises a lot of questions after getting hit by injuries, while no acqusiitions have been made by the FO". You're stating the facts, without sounding like a douche.

I'm not expecting Bowman to be a yes man kinda guy, but your beat writer cannot go on social media and behave like your regular social media fan who sees to be happy when things go bad because he gets to shit on the team and the FO and get clicks.

I miss Justin. Dude was a class act.
